Discussion Question 1

SJ is a sixteen-month-old boy who is brought to the clinic with a one-day history of tugging at his right ear and crying and a two-day history of decreased appetite, decreased playfulness, and difficulty sleeping. His mother has documented a fever, so she has been giving him 5 mL of ibuprofen every twelve hours. He was diagnosed with acute otitis media (AOM) at the age of four months; he has had the same diagnosis three times since. On physical exam, his vital signs are normal with the exception of a temperature of 102°F. His weight is 10 kg. Both tympanic membranes (TMs) are erythematous, with the right one more than the left one. The right TM is bulging with limited mobility, copious cerumen, and purulent fluid behind the TM. The left TM appears normal. The right TM landmarks are difficult to visualize. Answer the following questions:

Of the information provided, what data support the diagnosis of AOM and what would be inconclusive?

How would you distinguish AOM and otitis media with effusion (OME)?

What treatment would you suggest?

What types of cautions or instructions would you provide to his mother?

Actions for DB 5: Culturally Congruent Nursing Care

When we think about culturally congruent nursing care and interventions, there are significant dimensions to consider. Chapter 11 has provided a wide range of issues to consider when incorporating cultural information in program development, implementation, and evaluation. There are basic principles to consider in the practical application of programming. In addition, Chapter 12 speaks to the connection between the effort to eliminate health disparities and the concept of cultural competence. The CLAS cultural competence standards are described, as is the “Kleinman-Benson” take on cultural competence.

There are TWO elements to this discussion. The first gives YOU one of three options to present. The scenarios are from Chapter 11, Pg. 156-157. The final prompt is about cultural competence and health disparities.

A. First, select ONE of the three scenarios described below, and develop your initial post with the question prompts. Title your post with the scenario name. In your reply posts, reply to at least ONE who has presented a case other than the one you presented.

  1. Scenario #1: Encouraging the Use of Oral Rehydration Therapy. Please read the scenario on pg. 156 about children with juvenile diarrhea. Question for discussion: What can you do to work with the indigenous system and yet provide the oral rehydration therapy to families? What would be your strategies/approaches? In your initial post, incorporate both CLAS standards and Kleinman and Benson approach.
  2. Scenario #2: Smoking Intervention. Please read the scenario on pg. 156. Question: Your task is to increase utilization of the stop-smoking program via culturally tailored approaches. How might you do this? In your initial post, incorporate both CLAS standards and Kleinman and Benson approach.
  3. Scenario #3: Improving Clinic Utilization. Please read the scenario on pg. 157 about a very diverse US city with two clinics – one that is strong and one not well used. Question: How might you increase utilization of clinic no. 2? In your initial post, incorporate both CLAS standards and Kleinman and Benson approach.

B. Second, to wrap up this post, present what you feel is the connection between cultural competence and the issue of health disparities?

HCS455 University of Phoenix Health Insurance Explained Response

Read and respond to at least two of your classmates’ discussion posts. Be constructive and professional with your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions. 125 words each post

1.I watched, “Health Insurance Explained: YouToons Have it Covered” on The Henry J. Kaiser Family foundation Website. I found the video to be very informative and the delivery was easy to follow if a person does not know about the health insurance plans.

The information that I knew was the different type of medical plans that are offer to the public, Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan the patient can only see a person in their provider network and needs a referral to see a specialist. A Provider Preferred Organization PPO) Network gives the patient more of a flexibility to see in network and out of network providers. The patient would have more responsiblity if seen an out of network provider. The Market Place Insurance insurance is shared premium with the patient the governnment helps pay for the premium based on income. Lastly, State Insurance, Medicaid is the patient has to qualify by income and the services are mostly covered at 100% due to being low income. Medicare insurance their are several options. A Medicare Supplemental Insurance which the patient pays premiums to the insurance. The services are comparable to Medicare some offer more benefits on the plan, Traditional Medicare Part A covers the hopsital visits, the patients has a set premium each month to pay it is based on the patient’s income amount. Medicare Part B covers the doctors visits. Medicare Part D is for Prescriptions Services.

One thing that I have noticed since the affordable care act has been signed into law is the cost the health care services has gone up drastically. I remember at one time paying for Health Insurance, Dental, & Vision and paying $200.00. a month to my employer. The out of poclet at the doctor’s office was $25 for an office visit, an inpatient stay was covered at 100%. The insurance plans now being offered at work is applied to deductible, a percentage for each visit no copay amount is an option. Boy has the time has changed. Class, have you noticed a change in your benefit options being offered today vs before affordable care act was signed into law?

2.I liked the video, it was exceptionally useful with regards to clarifying the various kinds of medical coverage and what is covered/paid for and not covered/not paid for. I realize that when you have Medicare a ton of things are paid, yet then you would need to various kinds of protection with the goal that all your medication is secured. Private protection needs to various choices like HMO or PPO. HMO signifies the “Health Maintenance Organization.” HMO plans offer a wide scope of social insurance benefits through a system of suppliers who consent to supply administrations to individuals. With an HMO you’ll likely have inclusion for a more extensive scope of preventive social insurance administrations than you would through another kind of plan. PPO designs, or “Favored Provider Organization” plans, are one of the most well-known sorts of plans in the Individual and Family advertise. PPO plans enable you to visit whatever in-organize doctor or medicinal services supplier you wish without first requiring a referral from a primary care doctor.

An HMO gives you access to specific specialists and emergency clinics inside its system. A system is comprised of providers that have consented to bring down their rates for plan individuals and furthermore fulfill quality guidelines. In any case, not at all like PPO plans, care under an HMO plan is secured just on the off chance that you see a supplier inside that HMO’s system. Likewise, Private health care or private medication is health care and drug given by elements other than the legislature. Moral issues identifying with private health insurance fundamentally concerns the contention that the truly seriously ill be entitled to spend money on saving their lives.

Successful dieter now

The term ‘DIET’ technically means the foods and beverages you consume. Therefore, we all have a diet, which is long-term. However, DIET is more commonly thought of as some sort of eating plan designed for weight loss – hence the phrase “I am ON a diet” implying that at some point I will be OFF that diet. This mindset does not support long term weight maintenance very well.

(1) Read about the National Weight Control Registry on page 381 of your text book. Choose 1-2 of the bullet points and discuss/ elaborate on how you feel this behavior helps with weight loss or weight management.

(2) Genetics and environment can also play a role in someone’s weight which may lead to obesity or being underweight. Discuss one example of each factor (one genetic and one environmental) and how it can affect the weight of an individual. If you wish, you may use factors which affect your own weight. Note you may wish to consider environmental factors which influence the behavior(s) you discussed in (1.)

Introduction

Indicators, when it comes to homeland security, are those things that suggest the likelihood of a terror attack to occur. In other words, indicators are the signs that can tell us that tell us of a potential threat. Warnings refer to the notifications or messages sent to security agencies or the public about a possibly imminent threat. Indicators and warning aid intelligence and government officials to be aware so as to foil terror attacks. According to Dahl (2007), in light of rising terrorist threats such as 9/11, our comprehension of intelligence failure against surprise terror events needs to be renewed (p. 31). Recognizing and gathering warnings and indicators is one of the ways in which agencies can stay ahead of terrorists and protect the country’s security.

Examples of Indicators and/or Warnings

One of the indicators of potential terrorist activities is suspicious circumstances and behaviors. Suspicious circumstances and behavior are many. They can, for example, be the purchase of items and materials routinely used by criminals and terrorists. When someone buys powerful weapons or other technology that members of the public would not need to use, it could serve as a suspicious circumstance. Another example of a warning or an indicator of potential terror activities is elicitation. Carter and Carter (2009) note that elicitation involves soliciting or trying to gather information about a place, operation, or person (p. 1331). For example, elicitation could include a person attempting to collect knowledge regarding a critical infrastructure such as a military post or a power plant. Terrorists can try to gain an understanding of how bridges or tunnels operate. In this regard, they could make unusual inquiries. In this regard, the public and security officials need to identify and recognize suspicious circumstances or warnings that could be related to the planning and supporting of potential criminal activities.

Challenges

There are some challenges associated with warnings and indicators. One challenge could be the availability of systems, procedures, and plans that could process the information so gathered. According to the Department of Homeland Security (2009), compliance with statutory, regulatory, privacy, and other issues need to be in place to govern the gathering of information (p. 13). If there is no systematic way of knowing the essential elements of information, it would be difficult to use it to identify terror operations. Another challenge is with regards to the definition of a suspicious circumstance. Warnings and indicators are often just that: warnings. Sometimes one may believe they have seen a suspicious indicator, but it could turn out to be something different, leading to privacy and civil rights issues

.

Conclusion

Indicators are the signs that can tell us that tell us of a potential threat. Warnings refer to the notifications or messages sent to security agencies or the public about a possibly imminent threat. A security personnel uses them to gather information about criminal activity and enhance intelligence and preparedness. Examples of warnings and/or indicators are suspicious behavior, such as the purchase of military-grade technology and the elicitation of knowledge about persons, operations, or critical infrastructure. However, challenges such as privacy rights and lack of proper information-gathering systems could be potential setbacks for the use of warnings and indicators.

” I enjoyed reading your post and learning from your perspective about indicators of terrorism. You noted, “One of the indicators of potential terrorist activities is suspicious circumstances and behaviors.” Carter & Carter believed the importance of acknowledging such behaviors is imperative to preventing terrorism. Recognizing that individuals or groups are engaging in threatening behavior that may impact others should be reported (Carter & Carter, 2009). Thus, the use of information fusion has been found to be resourceful with detecting such behaviors. Having the information from the community is essential to allocating those who harvesting threats. Identifying such behaviors may generate the use of both human and technical support (Carter & Carter, 2009). The ultimate goal is to defuse the activity before it occurs. Reluctantly, the collection of such information does present problems. For example, Carter & Carter postulated the information received may contain inaccuracies about suspected people or groups within the community. Additionally, the citizenry could have be acting only on suspicions. Working to protect the country from terrorist threats requires the proper observations and technology (Carter & Carter, 2009).

What will MIC 100 emphasize?, assignment help

Module Overview

The most numerous inhabitants of our planet are life forms whose size is far smaller than the resolution of the human eye. These microscopic organisms, generically called microbes, play a vital role in the ecology of the earth, and within our own bodies.  In fact, we have a diverse ecosystem of microorganisms within us made up of about 100 trillion organisms in our digestive tract alone. In terms of cells, microbes out-number our own skin cells, muscle cells, neurons, and blood cells by about 300 to one!  To learn more about what a microbe is, and our own microbiome, follow this link to a recent report from the American Academy of Microbiology, FAQ: Human Microbiome.  You will need to read this to make your posts in your first Discussion.

As we learn more about the microbes in our microbiome, we will concentrate our attention on many of the microbes that are capable of altering our internal environment, making us sick. Infectious disorders are those caused by potentially dangerous microorganisms, called pathogens.

Infectious diseases have been a major threat to human health throughout history.  Infections have killed more humans than all our armed conflicts combined.  During most of our history, infections have been the main cause of death throughout the world.  In spite of our spectacular accomplishments in the diagnosis, prevention, and management of these disorders, infections continue to be a major threat to the individual and collective health. Even though the mortality from infections has significantly decreased in the past decades, new challenges are emerging which require the clinical skills and sagacity from all primary health providers.  Diseases which were considered to be on the verge of eradication are resurging with more aggressiveness.  As with most health problems, prevention and early diagnosis are the most effective approaches to deal with these challenges.

Let us begin this course by defining some basic terms:

Microbiology is the branch of biology that studies microscopic life forms; their structure, taxonomy (classification), genetics, evolution, ecology, etc.

Clinical Microbiology, the main subject of this course, is a branch of the basic sciences in a health-related curriculum devoted to the study of microbial pathogens and their interaction with humans. Conventionally, Clinical Microbiology also studies viruses (incomplete life forms) and metazoan worms (that are not microscopic).  In summary Clinical Microbiology is the discipline that deals with infectious disorders, in general.

Defense Mechanisms.  The human body uses a series of strategies to prevent the entrance of these potentially dangerous microorganisms; these strategies are collectively called defense mechanisms and include the natural barriers, the process of inflammation, and the immune response.  Were it not for these mechanisms we would be easy prey of the myriad pathogens that surround us.

Pathogen.  Any agent that is capable of causing disease.  As applied to Microbiology, pathogens are the infectious agents.

Microorganisms.  Microscopic life forms.  Viruses (incomplete life forms) are also included in this category.  Infectious agents of importance to humans include viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and multicellular infectious agents called metazoa (or helminths).  Each of these groups of microorganisms is studied by a specific branch of microbiology:  Virology, Bacteriology, Mycology, and Parasitology.

Host-microbe relations. The mutual interdependence of different life forms is called symbiosis. The interaction among two or more life forms may be beneficial for both, a mutualism, but in most cases one form will live at the expense of another.  This type of symbiosis occurs between an infected human and the infectious agent and is called parasitism.

Types of Infectious Agents

Microbiology was a study of living organisms whose existence was difficult to prove to the general public.  One of the reasons for this was that people could not see the organism; that is, not until the microscope was invented.  Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1674 to 1724) was one of the pioneers in the making of microscopes.  His observations are among the first recorded of bacteria, yeasts, and protozoa.

Edward Jenner is another important pioneer who made progress in developing vaccinations.  Edward Jenner was a country doctor working in England around 1798.  He observed that individuals who were exposed to cowpox, a virus related to smallpox that infects cattle, did not contract the smallpox virus.  He was the first to use an artificial exposure to the cowpox virus to stimulate the human immune response.  Edward Jenner’s early work put to use one of the first vaccinations for smallpox.

Although vaccines were used relatively early in the history of the science of microbiology, it is interesting to note that there were no systematic approaches to identifying the infectious agents until the end of the 19th century.  Another pioneering scientist, Robert Koch (1890), is known for developing postulates that helped establish the agent for a particular disease.  These postulates can be used for humans, animals, and plants for establishing the disease agent. They are still used today even though some complications and modifications must be used for certain obligate parasitic organisms (parasites that must live within a host).

Required Reading

Every Home page has valuable information that you are required to read.  Your first two Case Assignments will focus on reading and accomplishing some research on the Home pages.

The first case study is now posted under Week 6. Read it very carefully. There are several parts to it. Along with the white boards it contains all the information you should need to answer it well, although Chapter 20 of the textbook is very helpful as well. It is an Excel file and you can use Excel’s capabilities to make calculations easier, although it is important that I can see your logic and approach as well. Hand drawn control charts are fine, and ensure the key values asked for are written. I will give partial credit even if there are math errors provided that the approach is good. Note that there is more than one way to calculate Cp and Cpk and they may give slightly different numbers – either method is OK but show your working clearly.

Excel allows you to calculate arithmetic means (often called averages), ranges, and standard deviations very easily, and the case study is already in Excel.

public health, health and medicine homework help

As one of the most widely-used prescriptions withdrawn from the market, Rofecobix highlights issues facing public health leaders during a drug recall. With approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 1999, Merck marketed the drug for public use. In 2004, the drug was recalled for safety and cardiovascular problems developed in patients taking the medication (Topol, 2004). With nearly $2.5 billion dollars in sales and over 80 million people exposed to the drug, Merck’s recall turned into a public firestorm of litigation cases against the corporation.

In this week’s article by Topol, the author addresses the scandal surrounding safety concerns and the drug recall of Rofecobix. Use the Learning Resources as well as 2–4 additional resources from the Walden Library, current events, etc., to consider the facts in the case. Think about the traits and skills of the primary leaders. After considering the issues in the case, work with your group to address possible shortcomings of primary leadership and systemic issues. Also, as a group, think about strategies for improvements that use a systems thinking approach.

The Assignment–Part 1:

Individual Case Study Analysis (1–2 pages)

  • Students can use the Topol article to create an individual case study or an article in their field of interest. In the paper include the following sections:
    • A summary of the facts associated with the case including the primary leaders
    • A description of skills and traits of the primary leaders in this case

National Security today, political science homework help

The one recommendation that has been most impactful on national security has been to improve the nation’s airport security. TSA has been one agency that has affected National Security today. The TSA has grown since 9/11 with its development of countermeasures that have enhance layers of security at airports and on board planes to anticipate and mitigate the evolving threats to the US since 9/11. TSA has employed more officers to aid in the detection of airline security threats. It has employed new inspections at airports, trained on new ways to detect explosive devices, and updated its technology to x-ray machines and advance imaging technology machines capable to detect both metallic and nonmetallic threats to airports’ across the country.

Enhance Border security recommendation, the strategic plan under DHS promise to strengthen and gain control of the borders, I feel has been the least impactful. Since 2003, Homeland Security and the Justice Department has provided millions of dollars of funding for an array of border security operations. These included building an 18-foot steel fence, high-tech surveillance, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and increased prosecutions of illegal border crossers and the new hiring’s of agents for the Border Patrol. I feel that the federal government’s continued expressions of its commitment to border security has only served to highlight the shortcomings that it is failing to meet its responsibility to secure the border, pointing to continued illegal crossings by immigrants and drug traffickers. Border sheriffs, militant activists and state legislatures have even started taking border security into their own hands especially along the southwest border. Despite the border security buildups and $100 billion spent along the southwestern border, no terrorists or terrorist weapons have been seized. DHS does point out, however, that every year it regularly apprehends illegal border crossers from countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism (Barry, 2011).

In respect to your facility plan -review the prioritization of projects–is yours an immediate, short-term, long -range or independent project?


In estimating the cost of your renovation or new construction -is your facility a minor, moderate or major renovation and why?

This is a 200-250 answer to the chapter below.  I am doing a Ambulatory care clinic geared towards a cancer center facility.  It will be a new construction, with specialists, imaging, labs, treatment rooms, patient rooms, and special areas for a patient to relax, like a living room.

“Identifying Specific Projects and Preparing a Phasing/Implementation Plan”

ONCE CONSENSUS HAS been reached on a long-range facility investment plan, the translation of the strategies and corre- sponding actions into defined projects can commence.
Specific projects are generally grouped and sequenced based on the fol- lowing:

Urgency, such as in response to a competitive threat, code issues, or revenue generation
Renovation or construction feasibility and cost effectiveness
Available capital at different points in time
Bandwidth of the organization to handle multiple ongoing projects
The detailed phasing/implementation plan lists each project, the required sequencing, and the corresponding capital needs over time. Various types of project planning and management software are available to track each specific project’s actual expected start date, completion date, and the person responsible for its oversight.

provides an example of a summary format used by a senior leadership team to communicate projects and dollars as part of the funding approval process.
GROUPING OF PROJECTS BY PRIORITY
Projects are generally grouped according to their priority as follows:
• Immediate priority for projects that must be completed as soon as possible (even though renovation or construction may take up to two years)
• Short-term priority for projects that must be completed within two to five years) and for which planning needs to be initiated promptly
• Long-range priority for projects where completion is anticipated to be needed beyond five years and after the immediate and short-term projects have been completed. The need for these projects would generally be reconfirmed at some point during the initial five-year time frame and may be based on achievement of critical benchmarks
• Independent projects should also be identified—for example, if a project’s timing and completion is relatively independent from the other projects or if specific benchmarks are established that would trigger implementation (such as a census increase over multiple fiscal quarters) Certificate of Need submittal
by a competitor, or donor funding
DEVELOPING PRELIMINARY PROJECT COST ESTIMATES
During the predesign planning stage, there is limited information available regarding construction conditions, the quality of construction anticipated, the construction bidding climate, and other factors that could influence the total project cost. Although it is necessary to estab- lish an early “order of magnitude” estimate for the cost of construction or renovation, estimates made at this time should be regarded with caution. Typically, the process for developing a preliminary cost estimate includes first estimating the base construction cost and then applying a series of factors or additional budget items to estimate the total project cost.
Identifying Specific Projects and Preparing a Phasing/Implementation Plan 133 Copying and distribution of this PDF is prohibited without written permission.

To estimate the base cost of renovation, the anticipated cost of new construction can be factored as follows:
• Minor renovation includes construction with minimal demolition of existing walls and utilization of existing utilities, and it is usu- ally 25 percent to 35 percent of the cost of new construction.
• Moderate renovation assumes the reuse of the primary mechanical systems, with some demolition of existing walls, and it is usually 50 percent to 60 percent of the cost of new construction.
• Major renovation assumes the complete demolition of the existing walls and major reworking of the mechanical systems, and it is generally around 75 percent of the cost of new construction. However, some major renovation may actually be equal to or greater than the cost of new construction.
Base construction cost estimates are calculated and totaled for all facility components to be included in the project using either DGSF, if the project includes the renovation of specific departments, or BGSF, if the project includes new construction.
Once the base construction cost is estimated, the total project cost can be estimated by budgeting additional dollars for the following:
• Site work can be estimated at 10 percent for new construction.
• Multilevel parking can be estimated based on the national average of $11,315 per space (ENR 2004) and 40 percent to 60 percent higher for underground parking (Rowland 2004).
• Moveable equipment, furniture, and furnishings are some of the most difficult elements to estimate during predesign planning and may vary from 10 percent to 40 percent, depending on fac- tors such as the extent of equipment to be reused and vendor dis- counts. Typically, major imaging equipment is purchased separately from the construction budget, and it is therefore accounted for sep- arately. Alternately, a single dollar figure can be budgeted or a list developed of specific major medical equipment items.
• A building and construction contingency factor of 10 percent is usually added to allow for unknown costs that cannot be identified at the start of construction.
134 Healthcare Facility Planning: Thinking Strategically Copying and distribution of this PDF is prohibited without written permission.

• Project-related fees for programming consultants, architects, equipment planners, construction managers, interior designers, and so on may total 10 percent to 15 percent of the base construc- tion cost.
• Other costs, such as the cost of land acquisition, testing and inspections, administrative and legal fees, and financing costs, should be added as appropriate.
An inflation factor may need to be added to adjust the base construc- tion cost to reflect future construction conditions. Most contractors will adjust their construction estimates to the midpoint of construction to account for anticipated inflation in labor and materials if the project is large and to be constructed over a multi-year time period—for example, a 1 percent to 2 percent increase to the midpoint of construction.
DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN BASE CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND PROJECT COSTS
After additional costs for all of the above factors are tabulated, they should be added to the base construction cost to arrive at the total proj- ect cost. Just as confusing net and gross space can lead to misunder- standings (as described in Chapter 2), confusing the base construction cost and project cost can also lead to problems. Facility planners, archi- tects, and even construction specialists often refer to “cost” without qualifying whether it is simply the base construction cost or the total amount that must be funded (project cost). This can be disastrous, because the project cost may be 50 percent to 70 percent higher than the base construction cost.
PREPARING REALISTIC COST ESTIMATES: A CATCH-22 SITUATION
The preparation of a project cost estimate at the predesign (and schematic design) stage often presents a Catch-22 situation, where the desired outcome is difficult to attain because of inherent but well-intentioned conflicts of interest. Project cost estimates may be provided by one or more people involved in the facility planning process, including the architect, the construction manager, a profes- sional cost estimator, the hospital-based facility manager, or a facility planning or project management consultant.

If asked to prepare the project cost estimate, an architect who may eventually be awarded the design contract may understate the com- plexity and cost of the project for fear that the project might be derailed or downsized and the design concept jeopardized. A construction man- ager who may eventually be charged with delivering the completed project on budget may provide an overly conservative estimate. Construction managers are most comfortable and confident with pro- viding cost estimates based on a set of detailed architectural drawings and specifications, and they naturally overcompensate when only limited information concerning a potential project is available. If the project cost estimate is too high, the potential project may be deemed infeasible or the project may be literally sent “back to the drawing board.” Valuable staff time and professional fees are wasted when the project is appropriate and affordable but derailed because of a conserv- atively high cost estimate. The same thing can happen when the project cost is understated and requires redesign midstream, resulting in expensive “change orders.”
This push–pull situation can be modulated with an adept facility manager who has experience at the particular healthcare facility. A hos- pital-based facility manager can provide historical comparisons based on previous renovation or construction projects at the specific campus. A knowledge of unique construction conditions, the quality of construction anticipated by the organization’s leadership, and the organization’s corporate culture regarding decision making have a major impact on the accuracy of early predesign project cost estimates. At the predesign planning stage, professional cost estimators will have little to contribute and, like construction specialists, may be overly conservative. Input from an experienced facility planning consultant will provide objectivity and will help an organization focus on the broader question: Can the specific organization implement its imme- diate and short-term projects with the available capital resources? As the facility planning process progresses and an increasing amount of detail is developed, some projects will require more dollars, but others will require less such that the overall budget will be appropriate.
Ultimately, a healthcare organization should hire planning, design, and construction professionals who can assist the owner in getting the best project within a fixed budget by evaluating various trade-offs and weighing the advantages and disadvantages. This may range from

decisions related to operational concepts and their impact on staffing, equipment, and space needs to evaluating alternative architectural design solutions and comparing trade-offs between the quality and the quantity of space.
PLANNING A NEW FACILITY FROM THE GROUND UP
The planning of a replacement hospital or a new freestanding health- care facility requires a different approach, because the entire facility becomes the project. Although in some cases phased construction may be planned, a master project budget is generally developed that addresses all aspects of the project from start to completion. John Kemper’s (2004) book Launching a Capital Project provides an example of a sample master project budget that addresses the various costs associated with the planning, design, and construction of a new or replacement healthcare facility.”

In this activity, you will complete the last of three similar tables exploring health care settings, to help you understand the health care team you may manage. Review instructions for completing it in Unit 4, if necessary. In the final unit, you will review the three tables you have completed, to identify an area in which you might be interested in pursuing your health care management career. Spend some time exploring each area, even if you have already decided which setting you want to pursue. It is important to understand the roles of your health care colleagues, including what they do—and what motivates them.

Using the Community Health Care Roles and Functions Table, examine the health care professions and departments involved in public policy, outcomes, and social marketing aspects of the health care field. Note that the list from the table is not all-inclusive. These are simply some of the most visible roles involved in community support and government policy regarding health care.

Determine the following for each role or professional area:

·  Where it fits as a component in the chronic health care model (refer to the Unit 4 media piece).

·  What the job duties entail, or what services the job provides.

·  What might motivate individuals in that job role (typically more than money).

·  Whether the role is reimbursable by insurance.

·  What specific education or preparation is required for the role (include degree and topic of study, such as bachelor’s degree in nursing).

·  The name of the primary professional organization representing the role.

Pick one field in which you could see yourself potentially managing or working after graduation. In one or two paragraphs, describe the role as you see it. Describe how you would motivate your colleagues and employees. Identify professional organizations pertinent to this role.

consumers require complex care management

we visit last week http://towsonmd.brightviewseniorliving.com/CommunityHome.aspx .. and please answer these questions  

Now that we know about residential and home and community-based long term care services in the US, we need to look at how consumers transition from one type of care setting to another, including transitions from the hospital to these settings. These transitions have become increasingly important with greater emphasis on reducing hospital readmissions and increasing patient and resident safety under the ACA.

1.  What types of consumers require complex care management as they move through the various dimensions of long-term care services?  Name and describe at least two risk factors that can increase hospital readmissions for these individuals.

2.  Name at least two of the American Geriatrics Society recommendations to improve transitional care for consumers, and explain why these factors are important for health care providers to consider.  What is a transition plan, and why is this important for health care providers to put into place for consumers?

3.  How can greater attention to a consumer’s level of pain or a consumer’s probability of having a dementia diagnosis help care transitions?  Can contact with a consumer’s caregivers (if they have them) improve the care transition process.

Good morning Professor and classmate

Endophytes that benefit plants

  1. Endophytes are living organisms that usually live within living plant cells (Hiruma et al., 2016). Their relationship with the plant usually varies from being pathogenic to symbiotic. Bacteria and fungi are what are referred to as endophytes. For instance, rhizobium bacteria is a good example of endosymbiotant in legumes as it fixes the nitrogen in the soil into proteins known as nitrates, which are used by the leguminous plants. Other examples include Rhodococcus rhodochrous and bradyrhizobium.
  2. Rhizobium bacteria are very beneficial to legumes as it fixes the nitrogen in the soil into proteins that the legumes use in making of their food. Another example is Rhodococcus rhodochrous that is used in horticulture and agriculture because it prevents the growth of pseudomnoascus destructants in the soil.
